get a grip and smile
Floodgates freaking opened today really don’t know what came over me. Hormones it must be. Don’t we all have one of those times where we start crying for one reason or another, and to stop the tears from coming is totally Mission Impossible. Thankful and so glad for the impromptu late night escapade with Dia…

keep calm and stay sassy
The school of hard-knocks that is life clearly isn’t just any bubble-wrapped, sugar-coated candyland. When the going gets tough, chant this mantra: To me, being 22 & trying to keep your sanity in this crazy world is: 1. Realizing what a terrible person I am / had been 2. Knowing my flaws, recognizing the need…

silver lining
“Make your friends early, when they stand nothing to gain. Also, don’t trust boys. They all want to sleep with you. For hundred false friends I can have one true, and that is the price of friendship.” – The BFF, Weihan-ology

had my heart aglow
Memories aren’t created to be tossed aside or fed to the wind. Most unfortunately whoever created Man didn’t engineer our brains to work as per a shredder does – feed it in, tear it apart, then proceed to expel the remnants. Letting go takes tremendous practice – a dab of ignorance, a handful of shrugs, closed…

__ staring into space
Head on with the crowd, realizing my neighbour has passed on, I’m trapped standing between both our gates, trying to find the right empathetic words to say, and it could only be “I’m sorry.” I meant to say a whole lot more – so much easier to churn out four thousand words of cold hard…

headlights, buggies, immaculate Pixar movies
So this lifelong paper chase concludes in February with the Bachelor’s degree conferred on me yet the anticipated pride hasn’t hit, let alone any sense of accomplishment at having survived the insanely rigorous rite of passage into the adults’ society. Why then, did this flimsy piece of paper hold more intrigue ten years ago, than…

149. unlove
“You should know that there is something worse than hate and that is unlove. Because hate is anger over something lost, hate is passion, hate is misguided, it’s caring for the wrong things but it is still caring. But unlove, unlove is to unremember, to unhold, to undream, to undo everything that ever was and…

145. heaven full of astronauts
“I have a theory that every time you make an important choice, the part of you left behind continues the other life you could have had.” “I seem to have run in a great circle, and met myself again on the starting line.” – Jeanette Winterson. Dear essay on modernism and post-modernism, you shall…

141. lightness of being
“The heaviest of burdens is therefore simultaneously an image of life’s most intense fulfillment. …What then shall we choose? Weight or lightness?” -Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being Took a short detour to the after-dark playground just to sit on the swings, which creaked so bad I felt like a scene in a horror…

People and Perversion
Never thought I had potential to be a rich man’s mistress. Was hit on by a man old enough to be my grandfather who used all kinds of compliments to my figure, fashion sense, face & skin, and hair. From our conversation (polite on my part) I gathered his interest in cars, possession of Ferraris…

Polaroid – The Sleepyrocker
You still have my Polaroids on your door even after I moved out, and I’m strangely comforted. Classmates, class monitresses, room-mates, coffee-pals forever?:)
